Injury report

Los Angeles Lakers

Nobody listed.

Golden State Warriors

  • Jimmy ButlerOut· back Dec 1
    Report note

    Butler tore the ACL in his right knee in January before undergoing surgery in early February. The star forward still does not have a clear timetable for a return to game action, though it's encouraging to see his progression thus far. The 37-year-old appeared in 38 games during the 2025-26 regular season, averaging 20.0 points, 5.6 rebounds, 4.9 assists and 1.4 steals across 31.1 minutes per contest.

    Cost -4.5 per 100
  • Moses MoodyOut· back Dec 1
    Report note

    Moody suffered the injury March 23 and underwent season-ending surgery four days later. The 24-year-old had been targeting September to resume running and on-court work, so his latest progress appears to keep his rehabilitation on track, though he remains without a firm timetable for his return to game action.

    Cost -2.1 per 100
  • Kristaps PorzingisQuestionable· back Oct 13
    Report note

    Porzingis will miss the start of training camp due to the unknown issue, and his status for the beginning of the regular season is murky. If the veteran big man is forced to miss time to begin the campaign, Al Horford and Charles Bassey would be candidates for increased playing time.
